In Conclusion Differences

Flagler College is very different from the schools we studied in the west. Flagler’s acceptance rate, alumni giving, tuition, number of Freshmen in the top 25% of their high school class, and rate of females to males are all significantly different from most of the Schools in the West.

In Conclusion Similarities

However, there were a few similarities. All of the schools, except for one, were at least close to Flagler in size. We also found that Flagler was similar in the fact that there are more females than males enrolled in most of the colleges.
